Abstract

Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) Bioengineering
Fundamental properties of micro supercooling flow were demonstrated. We found that the freezing temperature of water depends on surface properties and size. The lowest freezing temperature was observed as -28 °C in the 70-μm-wide microchannel modified with hydrophobic group. Then, we confirmed the freezing temperature was independent of flow. Furthermore, we found micro supercooling flow can be realized for organic solvents. © 2006 Society for Chemistry and Micro-Nano Systems.
